Re: Transplant

Thanks Pete,
This delay makes it more likely I'll need a couple of dialysis sessions before the transplant, which I hoped to avoid. Plus my wife, 2 sons and son-in-law have all booked time off to help with looking after the dog, taking wife to and from hospital, me home from hospital etc. Plus there's various banking issues we had to rearrange while my wife took a month of unpaid leave from work. So yes, very frustrating.

At least they haven't cancelled it, or delayed it for an even longer period.

Hi Alysia,
It probably is for the best, I just hate messing people about, especially when they're trying to help me out. I know it's not my fault or choice, but I still feel guilty.
My dad has already said that if I can't have his kidney, he's happy for it to go to someone else (therefore the original date could be kept IMO), but the transplant coordinators said that even though my dad is happy to give to someone else, their main concern is getting the kidney to the original recipient and passing it on to someone else is done as a last option.

Re: Transplant

Oh Gilders,
This is just one more wait to tolerate. No one could say they couldnít stand it, because what choice do you have. I was going to start calculating US EST for 9 am England, March 5th. Iíll just reset the clock. I canít think of anything good to say about this change, but it will give me a couple more weeks to pray for you.
